Man, I wish I could find A) these sales; and B) free money to spend at these sales. A very cool idea, most folks I know would simply have gone with those big half-dome pieces stuck together... I wouldn't have even tried it at all!

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Funny you mentioned that since I actually started with the quarter dome pieces from the Insectoids sets. But when my sons looked at it, they said the dome was supposed to be transparent! Sure it did and good thing that I found the alternative from the Mars sets (also bought on clearance) which they gave a thumbs up.

I'm now thinking of those big 1/4 dome transparent pieces from way back in the day with sets like the Monorail (mid to late '80s, I think) and others, but that's gotta cost a fortune to amass enough of those.

Originally posted by Sweden ACPin, exellent work as usual. Kudos to you. I still say you must make a fortune.

Not at all, though I don't smoke, drink or have any other expensive vice except for this hobby!

I vaguely remember those pieces, however I basically do my works only on what pieces that I've got. But if those pieces haven't been reissued as part of newer sets, they will be pretty expensive to acquire.
